U.S. Senator Mark Kelly addressed a recent NBC News report, discussing the weapon used to kill Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon. He mentioned the increased use of guided munitions, such as JDAMs, while not confirming whether the weapon was U.S.-made.

Speaking on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Kelly highlighted the effectiveness of the 2,000-pound Mark 84 guided bomb in the strike. However, his spokesperson later clarified that Kelly was commenting on NBC's reporting and not providing confirmation.

The Israeli military has remained silent on the specifics of the weapon used. Kelly has previously advocated for imposing conditions on some U.S. military aid, noting the importance of guided weapons. JDAMs convert unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions using GPS technology.
